Find A Local Washington, D.C. Criminal Defense Attorney

Being charged with a crime can be an intimidating experience, but we can assure you that being convicted of that crime is going to be much worse. Remember that not only are there several legal repercussions for being charged with a crime, but there are other consequences which will negatively impact almost every aspect of your life.

For instance, your professional aspirations will definitely have to take a back seat and may be even permanently so. Nobody is keen to hire a criminal and furthermore, even if you already have a budding career, you may be at a risk of losing that too.

Keeping your name unsoiled is something to think about for sure.

It is not just your professional life that will take a hit. Your social reputation will also be tarnished too. In addition, your personal life and familial relationships can be strained as well. Not to mention, your financial stability will be undoubtedly affected in a negative way as well.

Federal charges

When it comes to Washington DC specifically, some charges are tried in the superior court of DC. However, a lot of crimes may result in federal violation and will therefore be undertaken by federal prosecutors who represent the US government. This means that they will have the backing of several federal agencies in their prosecution.

The agencies which will be involved in the prosecution including undercover operations, sting operations, and conducting investigations include the following:

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATF)

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
